Replying To gladiator: "Credit to Clonguish yesterday, answered a few questions about the quality of Longford football. Had great performances all over the field. unfortunately, both the Downs goals came from Clonguish mistakes, no doubt the result would have been on their side minus those. Jack D looked like a man who could benefit from a run of games which I doubt he will get with Roscommon, he missed a few chances he would normally stick away. But loads for them to build on.
Also managed to get to the Mostrim game on Saturday, a tough watch. I don't think it was a true reflection on intermediate in Longford, more so a mostrim team who didn't show up at all, not sure why. Their performance was miles off what they produced in the semi and final a few weeks ago. Certainly looked like the break did them no good, looked so sluggish and unfit all over the field
Any word on mentees management team or if any calls have been made to players for next year?" Fair play to Clonguish, pushed The Downs all the way. I actually watched Clonguish in a few games this year and felt they took it to another level performance wise yesterday compared to what they had shown in the county championship. From the outside looking in it looks like Clonguish are going to be the kingpins of Longford for the next decade at least. The standard of club football in Longford is quite poor overall and I don't think anyone is going to improve enough or has the talent coming through that Clonguish have. Definitely not the last we will see of them in a Leinster campaign.
I think the Mostrim game was definitely a true reflection on intermediate in Longford, its definitely one of the poorest standard intermediate championships in the country. the Longford intermediate champions have been hammered every year in this grade in Leinster. I have a few friends involved with an intermediate club in Longford and they reluctantly agree. Longford Gaelic Stats and Records have it that only 2 clubs have actually won a game in the last 27 years (Rathcline in 2005 and Fr Manning Gaels in 2019).

Replying To gaelsboy: "Yeah, other counties it worked out . E.g. Roscommon got a few good years out of Conor Cox, don't think we have had too much success with imports. Brendan Gallagher had a credible few years I think, can't think of any others that came in and stuck about long since the 90s." we had some good ones in the 90's. Declan Darcy in particular, John Owens too and Jason Ward.
